I just started with Ubuntu and I wonder if there are any programs that you can program C++ and Pascal?

sudo apt-get install build-essential

That will get gcc (which includes g++) for compiling C++ code.

I don't use pascal, but I'm sure someone else here does :)

Pascal is _totally_ useless as of 28.12.2005 and I suggest you avoiding it if you are learning on your own. Of course if you use it at school (Italy is one of the few countries that STILL sticks to it, poor guys) you may have to deal with it :)

Anyway you can basically use a text editor + a compiler (my way, I stick to emacs since ages ago, for ANY language) or, if you want something easier, you can try some IDE, like Kdevelop (if you are running KDE) or Anjuta (if you are running GNOME).
